Content

The course consists of seminars given either by post-graduate students (e.g. half-time seminars) or senior scientists within the Soil Science subject at department level or within the research school Focus on Soils and Water.

Additional information

PhD candidates can register for the course as soon as they have been accepted. It is compulsory to complete the course before graduation.

To get the course approved and registered in Ladok, the PhD candidate should hand in a list with the seminars which he/she attended (date, title of seminar, name of lecturer), also including the dates when the candidate acted as chairperson and pedagogic reviewer, as well as the date and title of his/her own half-time seminar. This list should have been confirmed and signed by the main supervisor and should then be sent to the department director of PhD-studies, before the "final follow-up".
